Unlike many other states, California does not require a license for non-medical
or custodial care services. As a result, there are no barriers to entry, no
consumer protection laws, no minimum standards, and no official state oversight.
Consumers and their families must adopt a buyer beware approach, do their homework
and hire caregivers that are bonded and insured. Look for companies who do background
checks on their employees. California Medicare-certified home health care programs
are surveyed annually against the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
